*Daytime Book Discussion: The Daytime Book Group will discuss Nikolai Googol’s Inspector General on Monday, May 14, at 1 pm.

The Inspector General is a short comedy parodying rampant low-level corruption in Russian towns at the time the play was written (1836). The officials of a small town are terrified when they learn that a government inspector is being sent to visit undercover to make sure everything is running as it should. Due to their fear, they quickly conclude that Hlestakov, a badly-in-debt guest at a local inn, is in fact that inspector. Hilarity ensues, as the officials fall all over themselves to show Hlestakov the town and convince him that they are doing their jobs in a most upstanding manner.

*The Future of the Internet: Join us for a talk on “The Future of the Internet” on Tuesday, May 15, at 1 pm.

John Patrick, the author of Net Attitude and a leading Internet visionary, believes the rapid evolution of the Internet is about to make today’s Internet seem primitive. John will provide an exciting vision about the power and the potential of the Internet and how it will provide significant advances in order to meet the increasing expectations of an on-demand world.
